A link late in that article takes you to this piece on even more remarkable small engines in the concept and prototype stages: Big Mileage Gains From Really, Really Small Engines

Wow. Almost makes me want a new car in a few years.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
